The factory MT82 can handle the occasional track day but for drivers chasing race wins, tighter gear spacing, and an extra margin of durability, the Steeda TR-3160 Transmission Package offers a real step up, pairing a brand new Ford Tremec TR-3160 with a McLeod RST clutch kit so you can move up to Dark Horse spec gearing or refresh an existing TR-3160 with a stronger, race proven unit.
Gear ratios built for the road course. The TR-3160 uses a tighter, closer ratio gear set than the MT82, keeping the engine in its power band longer through corner exits instead of leaving you searching for the right gear mid-turn. For anyone lapping a road course or running autocross, that translates directly into more consistent power delivery and quicker lap times, especially in technical sections where every shift counts.
More durable construction for higher demand use. The Tremec TR-3160 is built with heavier duty internals designed to handle sustained high load shifting session after session. For drivers pushing bigger power or logging serious track time, that added strength means fewer worries about wear parts and more confidence putting the car through repeated hard use.
Straight from the Dark Horse race program. The TR-3160 is the same transmission Ford builds into the purpose built Dark Horse R platform, and it's the exact unit running in Steeda's own #20 yellow race car under Dario Orlando, currently leading SAARC points. This transmission is a major factor taking that car to the next level, and this package lets you drop the same gearbox in you Mustang, whether you're stepping up from an MT82 or refreshing a TR-3160.
